[edit] diameter

The NASA moons profiles page gives the middle diameter as both 190 and 192 km. Can someone who has access to reliable data verify? kwami 09:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New image

I use that image as wallpaper on my computer. I think if you cropped the image tighter it would be a big improvement over the old Voyager 2 image. You can see my version of the image (uncropped) at http://home.comcast.net/~kpheider/Janus_IR1GUV3.jpg Kheider 16:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Looks great to me, especially the colour version over at Kheider's page. We should stick that cropped version in the infobox, and push the old Voyager image further down into the text. Deuar 16:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't really care for the new image (put in on 17:12, 14 May 2008). I think the previous picture has better resolution, perspective, and much better color. -- Kheider (talk) 17:21, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
